> Be sure that what you are doing is something you truly love, and not just something you want to love or want to portray that you love for the benefit of others.

Can you expand on this? How do you ever know? Whether I love what I do has been one of my existential questions for the last decade, and why I didn't immediately follow through with my CS degree out of college.

I feel like I can never know whether I'm doing something I "truly" love...but I'd like to be wrong

It's fine to do something that you don't "love". But you better damn well love it if you're going to sacrifice your financial, emotional, and physical health for it like the typical Silicon Valley founder.
